The Buccaneers are 2-2 after the first quarter of the season, and fans may not be too happy about it.

The bottom line is, this Buccaneers squad should be 3-1. We know this. We’ve talked about it. Quite frankly, it’s time to focus on the future now.

When I see this team, I see a Tampa roster which nearly beat the defending Super Bowl champions on the field of play, even if the score board didn’t reflect.

This is a promising fact moving forward when you consider the defense was missing three pro-bowl caliber talents on that night.

But, there’s always a way for teams to get better. We know it, and even they know it. This is why the NFL holds a draft every year and why free-agency exists. So teams can get better and players can seek out a fit for them which will lead them to the Super Bowl we all want them to reach so badly.

So, for this week’s round table, I posed the question to our Pewter Plank staff:

What move would you make as the Buccaneers general manger to make this team instantly better, and why?

The responses were interesting to say the least, and with one quarter of the season to evaluate the current Bucs squad, the ideas were flowing.

I even heard Tim Tebow’s name brought up in conversation.
